Slow Cooker Peach Dump Cake: The 4-Ingredient Dessert 🍑🎂
The easiest, most decadent dessert you’ll ever make – and it cooks itself!
Ingredients
-
2 cans (15 oz each) peach pie filling (or sliced peaches in heavy syrup)
-
1 box yellow cake mix
-
½ cup butter (1 stick), sliced into thin pats
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle
Instructions
Step 1: Layer It
-
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray
-
Pour both cans of peach pie filling into the bottom and spread evenly
Step 2: Add Cake Mix
-
Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the peaches
-
DO NOT STIR! (This is a dump cake – layering is key!)
Step 3: Top with Butter
-
Place butter pats evenly over the top of the dry cake mix
-
Cover as much surface area as possible
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired
Step 4: Slow Cook
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 2½ – 3 hours or on HIGH for 1½ – 2 hours
-
Cake is done when edges are bubbly and top is set (will look slightly gooey in spots)
Step 5: Serve
-
Turn off slow cooker and let sit uncovered for 15-20 minutes to set
-
Scoop into bowls while warm
-
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Pro Tips
-
Don’t stir! The magic happens when the butter melts through the dry mix
-
Check at 2 hours – slow cookers vary in temperature
-
Crispy edges? For crunchier topping, remove lid for last 30 minutes
-
Crockpot size: Works best in 5-6 quart oval slow cooker
Easy Variations
| Swap This | For That |
|---|---|
| Peach pie filling | Apple, cherry, or blueberry pie filling |
| Yellow cake mix | Spice cake, white cake, or butter pecan |
| Add-ins | Chopped pecans or walnuts on top |
| Fresh peaches | 4 cups sliced fresh + ½ cup sugar + 1 tbsp cornstarch |
| Extra flavor | 1 tsp vanilla extract drizzled over peaches |
Why This Works
The peaches bubble up through the cake mix as they cook, while the butter melts down to create a golden, crispy topping – all without any mixing or fuss. It’s part cobbler, part cake, and entirely delicious!
Warm, fruity, buttery perfection – with only 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep! 🍑✨
